The same reason Azerbaijan is in the European area qualifying for the world cup.

No one knows.


Besides, can you really see Israel playing in a middle east championships? Can you imagine match security and the amount of dirty play going on in matches?

It'd be like a Leeds-Blackburn match without the goodwill.

I'd watch for the sheer kicks (as it were).

Actually, alot of Israelis are Americans and Russians.

Anyway, someone else had it right. Could you imagine the Israelis playing against a bunch of arabs???

I can. And it isn't pretty. Arab Nations fining players for playing too fairly. Incentive bonuses for fouling out. And an unfortunate instability in an Arab players molecular composition, causing him to explode, killing all Israeli players.

sadly this is true. I dont think Israel should be allowed to take part in any international sporting events. Similar to what happened to S. Africa during apartheid. Maybe that would get them to change thier evil policies of oppression and murder.
